Aerolitoral Reconsiders Gun Policy

(posted October 31, 2001)

The Mexican regional carrier, Aerolitoral,
has decided it will allow hunters to carry firearms and ammunition
after all on its flights from Houston, El Paso, Tucson and Phoenix.
The decision is good news for hunters who planned to fly Aerolitoral
on Coues deer, desert mule deer and desert bighorn hunts this
fall.

It is unclear just why the carrier lifted its ban on firearms and
ammunition, but it comes a week after The Hunting Report warned
Aerolitoral executives that hunters have long memories when it comes
to slights such as this. Moreover, many hunters are successful in
business and control extensive travel budgets.

"Aerolitoral will accept firearms in locked carrying cases from
all of our US gateway cities," is the way Aerolitoral's
International Division VP, John Jones, put it in an e-mail this
morning. "We value all our Aerolitoral passengers and are committed
to meeting the 'social needs' of all our passengers, including
hunters."
